Abstract

Ecological learning in inclusive Early Childhood Education faces significant challenges, especially for children with sensory barriers such as vision, hearing, and sensory processing disorder (SPD). Learning media that can accommodate children's sensory needs is needed comprehensively and inclusively. This research aims to design a learning media based on a sensorial scavenger hunt that is inclusive and adaptive to children's sensory needs in the context of ecological learning. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and research and development methods, the media is designed through needs analysis, design, expert validation, and design improvement. The developed media successfully integrates various sensory stimuli selectively (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory) and provides a differentiation structure to support the active participation of children with special needs. Initial validation by one expert indicates that this medium has the potential to support inclusive learning. Sensorial scavenger-hunt media contribute to inclusive learning by providing an adaptive, fun, multisensory approach and by strengthening accessibility for children with sensory barriers. This research has limitations because it only reaches the initial design and validation stages, without field implementation tests. Therefore, further research is needed to empirically test the effectiveness of media in an inclusive ECE classroom setting.
